He that loveth maketh his own the grandeur he loves

He that loveth maketh his own the grandeur he loves

Summary

This quote emphasizes that someone who truly loves something or someone not only admires its grandeur but also becomes a part of it. When we deeply love something, we commit ourselves to it, immersing ourselves in the experience and making it a part of our identity. Love empowers us to fully appreciate and embrace the greatness of what we love, allowing us to find fulfillment and purpose in our connection to it. Ultimately, love enables us to take ownership of the magnificence we hold dear, enriching our lives and making us whole.
